Subject: [PATCH 1/3] bpf: replace use of system_wq with system_percpu_wq
Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2025 10:53:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250905085309.94596-2-marco.crivellari@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250905085309.94596-1-marco.crivellari@suse.com>
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
system_wq is a per-CPU worqueue, yet nothing in its name tells about that
CPU affinity constraint, which is very often not required by users. Make
it clear by adding a system_percpu_wq.
queue_work() / queue_delayed_work() mod_delayed_work() will now use the
new per-cpu wq: whether the user still stick on the old name a warn will
be printed along a wq redirect to the new one.
This patch add the new system_percpu_wq except for mm, fs and net
subsystem, whom are handled in separated patches.
The old wq will be kept for a few release cylces.
